Compressor is crap, wont run any of the air tools.
Bought mine last year, struggled to run my plasma cutter and finally the rail with the outputs has split and dropped to bits...
Those air ratchets are really usefull, they don't exert much torque but in tight spots and repetative work they are great.
I've had the clarke half and three eigth inch versions an wouldn't be without, at £15 inc some sockets thats worth having.
coozer- the CFM rating of the compressor is 9.5, which is higher than most of the tools as far as I can see (some are not labelled but similar products in market)?
I have that compressor too, its terrible - although you can set the psi to match what the air tool spec says, it just can't do anything useful - the air drill struggles to drill a 3mm hole in 1.5 mm thick steel.
OK then forget about the compressor. You must admit the Play Ball and Launcher Set is pretty nifty for £1.69

That'll be an avoid then! But what's limiting it - surely just the regulator flow rate? Change the reg?
air ratchets are very useful in tight spaces.
i will be getting one.

I have to agree, the compressor is poo for using with proper air tools... although it drives the little die-grinder ok... plus is handy for blowing dust away and inflating tyres.....
thanks for the heads up. will be heading there on sunday for some of the tools!
Well I picked up the impact gun and the ratchet.
Annoyingly the ratchet once the quick release adapter is fitted won't fit in the blow moulded case! Once I've proven it works I may have to
cut it about so it fits.
got one of these last year with the rectractible air hose.
good for blowing up tyres and odd air tool use. it works the air ratchet and buzz gun ok.
not a professional compressor but ok for light use.
not tried spraying anything with it as yet but will have a go with it soon as i need to paint the lower valance on my vectra
I got a spot blaster,now need something to try it on.But first I need to change the quick release coupling as supplied with strange larger type.
